I'm A G
Ciara Lyrics

G is for girl like gangsta
Being a girl who is streetwise and tough

G is for girl like gangsta
Reiterating that she is a strong, independent woman who can hold her own

Where I fit in, is G
Declaring that she fits in with the gangsta lifestyle

'A' is what the boys say when they callin' me,
Suggesting that the boys can't resist her and are persistent in trying to win her over

'B'uzzin' all around me like a 'B'ee
Describing how the boys are swarming around her like bees to honey

They must be trippin' when they follow me,
Feeling that the boys are foolish for trying to keep up with her

Boy I don't answer nothin' but 'C'
Not giving them the time of day unless they show her respect

Talkin' if you're ridin' on 'D's,
Explaining that she's only interested in guys who are driving nice cars

But i can't call you,
Not interested in a relationship so won't give them special attention

'D'addy if your tank is on 'E'
Stating that even though she has high expectations, she also respects herself

Little fella 'F'in wit me.
Finding amusement in the guys' attempts to woo her

Show me some respect cause babyboy I'm a 'G'
Expecting respect because she's a gangsta girl who knows her worth

'H' stands for hold up...
Telling them to wait a minute and not get too close too soon

'I' don't want ya tryna run up on me
Not wanting them to approach her in a disrespectful manner

Like a 'J'ay
Comparing them to a blue jay, which is pushy and aggressive

Can't believe he showed up
Expressing surprise that he has the audacity to try to impress her

Try to out-'G' but that's o.'K'
Acknowledging that some guys try to put up a front, but she isn't fooled

'L' is for 'L'isten when I speak
Emphasizing the importance of respecting her voice and opinions

'M' is for the 'M'ajor when y'all use it in the streets
Using street language that guys would typically use to describe themselves

'N' is for 'N'othing, boy I do this in my sleep
Stating that she's comfortable with this lifestyle and doesn't need validation from anyone else

'O' is for 'O'riginal, cause I'mma 'O'.G.
Being true to herself and her gangsta identity

'P' is for 'P'layas say "P'retty 'p'lease" (yup)
Knowing that some guys try to use flattery to get what they want

Bow down, when you standin' in front of a 'Q'ueen
Expecting respect and admiration from anyone who approaches her

'R' is for run I'm the one you 'S'econd to me
Knowing that she's in charge and anyone who tries to challenge her will be second-best

'T'wo cause I been hot since the 'T'urn of 'T'he century
Stating that she's been in the game for a long time and has always been a force to be reckoned with

'U' can ask around, I be gettin' that paper, on a
Having a reputation for being successful and making money

'V'aca', I be gon' for a 'W'eek
Taking vacations and enjoying the fruits of her labor

Put you on the ground 'X'ing out all my hatas
Being confident in her gangsta status and not afraid to put anyone in their place

'Y' waste time laying around catching 'Z's
Urging others to be productive and not waste time with frivolous activities

Watch me break it down...
Showing off her skills and confidence as a gangsta girl

(Break it down)
Encouraging others to join in and appreciate her gangsta style

"G" stands for girl-like Gangsta
Reiterating that her identity is tied to being a gangsta girl

Don't make 'em like me anymore
Emphasizing that being a gangsta girl is a rare and unique identity

So we in danger
Recognizing that being different can make one a target

So at ease, look at how we out-rank ya
Being confident in her gangsta status and enjoying her superiority over others

And when the G's come around just put your hands up
Having a sense of camaraderie among fellow gangstas

(Ladies say)
Addressing her fellow gangsta girls directly

Listen when I speak, Don't talk til I say so
Expecting respect and attention from those around her

Lil' G's work hard for the case so
Acknowledging the hard work and dedication it takes to be a gangsta girl
